Chen Geng didn't expect to see the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the No. 1 Office so soon, although he knew in his heart that nine out of ten of them were here for the computer monitor, but he still had some doubts in his heart: Although the country is indeed in short supply of foreign exchange, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right? No matter how anxious, it is still a few days away?

But when Secretary Li of the No. 1 Office seemed to inadvertently ask if he knew about an American company called Flextronics, Chen Geng's heart instantly understood: This is what happened!

"Flextronics, of course I know," Chen Geng nodded again and again: "This is a very famous electronic product foundry enterprise in Silicon Valley, although the scale can not be compared with the world-class electronic foundry giants such as Asahi and Jabil, but the technical force is still very powerful, especially in Silicon Valley, because their technology is good, the price is relatively reasonable, and they are the favorite partners of many small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in boards and even personal computers......

Finished!

Before Chen Geng's words were finished, Secretary Li and Fang Huaying's hearts instantly cooled: it seemed that Chen Geng not only knew about this company, but also knew about this company in great detail...... Well, maybe Chen Geng's company has also cooperated with this Flextronics company, after all, Chen Geng's Garrett 2000 computer company also has a hardware product like a trackball, right?

Chen Geng asked with a smile: "Secretary Li, ...... this Flextronic company?"

"Yes," Secretary Li nodded, and did not hide it: "They have come to Huaxia, looking for you." ”

"Looking for me?!"

Chen Gengleng paused for a moment, and immediately thought of what Dolucy had told him about Bob, the CEO of Flex, who had visited her in the company and wanted to OEM a personal computer for Garrett 2000, and then suddenly shook his head with a smile and said: "For this business, all the people from Flex have chased here? ”

Chen Geng knows about this?!

Not only did he know about it, but the two sides had been in contact with each other about cooperation?

Looking at Chen Geng's reaction, Secretary Li quickly determined these two points in his heart, and then ......

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Why are you secretly rejoicing?

It's because the senior management almost didn't approve the entry application of Bob Todd, CEO of Flex Corporation, and his party!

Although Flextronics is not a big company in Chen Geng's eyes, in the eyes of the embassy, this is a company with an annual turnover of nearly 100 million US dollars is already a large multinational giant, so when the administrative staff of Flextronics went to the embassy to apply for entry, they thought that Flextronics was going to China to inspect and invest in the embassy, but when they saw the reason for Flex to go to China, the embassy suddenly became vigilant: they went to China, not to investigate. investment, but to go to Huaxia to find Mr. Fernandez Chen, well, that is, Chen Geng.

The embassy did not dare to slack off, and on the one hand, in the name of the need to review the information, first stabilized the staff of Flextronics, and at the same time reported the situation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the first time.

Sure enough, after receiving a briefing from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some high-level leaders had quite a few differences in their attitudes on this matter:

Some leaders think that of course they should allow people to come in, and their reason is very simple: the person who comes is a guest, and since they meet the conditions for entry, why don't ......they let people come? Comrades who oppose it, have you considered one thing in the exam: if we reject the other party's entry application without any valid reason, will it bring trouble to our future work?

But there are also some leaders who think they shouldn't agree, at least not right now.

The reason for these leaders is also very simple: this American company called Flextronics came to Chen Geng to win OEM orders for personal computers, and we are now discussing with Chen Geng about the cooperation of computer CRT, once Chen Geng hands over the OEM orders to this company, it means that Chen Geng will directly abandon production, and who will we sell our CRT to? This is at least tens of millions of dollars of foreign exchange every year, and who will bear this responsibility? As for Flex, it is also simple, and there is no need to refuse, just drag it a little......

Both sides say that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and no one can convince anyone.

In the end, the lawsuit came to Vice Minister Huang, and Deputy Huang was almost angry at the short-sightedness of these guys: Have you considered Chen Geng's reaction in the exam?!

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Only then did everyone realize that Chen Geng was an American, and he still had to go back to the United States after all, and once he learned about it after returning to the United States, what would he think? What impact would it have on the future cooperation between the two sides?

At this moment, looking at Chen Geng's reaction, Secretary Li sighed that it was really Vice Minister Huang who was more thoughtful, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I heard from the comrades in the embassy that Flextronics is their general manager...... Oh, they're called the CEO," after a brief pause, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean ......?"

Chen Geng smiled slightly and said: "The person who comes is a guest, since people have come with such great sincerity, no matter whether the cooperation can be achieved or not, there must still be respect for others." ”

Frankly speaking, Chen Geng has always respected a professional manager who works so hard, not to mention that he knows very well how far Flextronics will develop in the future.

Secretary Li nodded slightly, but what he cared about was not this, but what to do about the affairs of the imaging tube, but before he could speak, Chen Geng, who noticed that Secretary Li's expression was a little anxious, turned his mind slightly, and already thought of what he was thinking in his heart: "Li Mi, you don't have to worry about the matter of the visualization tube, I will include this in the package of considerations." ”

Secretary Li nodded, after listening to Chen Geng's words, although he didn't put all his heart back in his stomach, he was still a lot more relieved in his heart after all: as long as Chen Geng took this into account.

....................................

For Chen Geng's implementation of the capital, FAW is quite uneasy!

FAW deeply understands that in the face of interests, the "eldest son of the republic" does not guarantee to scare away all the bastards who covet this opportunity, such as BAIC, I have long heard that BAIC is about to move, in order to ensure that his family is not pried into the corner by others, FAW specially arranged for Geng Shaojie to accompany Chen Geng to the capital, and in the name of it: take care of FAW's partners.

In order to take care of Chen Geng to every pore, FAW temporarily granted Geng Shaojie the right to mobilize all the resources of the FAW Beijing Office at any time, that is to say, as long as Geng Shaojie thinks it is necessary, the entire FAW Beijing Office can be mobilized to serve Chen Geng.

That's bull x!

But Geng Shaojie, who was sitting on the plane, was not happy that he had obtained such a big right at the moment, and he was constantly secretly observing Chen Geng: What did Chen Geng think about this cooperation? It is true that FAW's conditions are indeed ...... Ahem, a little too much, but ......

The more he thought about it, the more empty Geng Shaojie actually felt in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he had no score in his heart.

Don't blame him, it's really the cooperation conditions proposed by FAW that make him unconfident:

First, after the cooperation, the Hongqi sedan products, the front of the car, the parking space, the sides of the body, the steering wheel and any other places where the brand logo can be marked, can only appear Hongqi car logo;

Second, after the cooperation is reached, the name of the company can only be called "FAW Hongqi Car Co., Ltd." or "FAW Hongqi Co., Ltd.", which can not appear such words as "joint venture" or "Sino-foreign joint venture", "Sino-US joint venture", etc., to give you a word that can not appear "AMC", to ensure that Hongqi car is the red flag of China, is the red flag of FAW;

Third......

There are more than a dozen similar conditions, seeing these conditions put forward by the leaders, Geng Shaojie himself felt blushing, and felt that FAW was really not authentic, except for a dividend right, Chen Geng didn't get anything, Chen Geng didn't put this cooperation framework agreement on the face of the FAW leaders on the spot, Geng Shaojie felt that Chen Geng's self-cultivation was good enough.

Of course, Geng Shaojie also understands the original intention and bitterness of the leaders to put forward such cooperation conditions, it is really Hongqi car is too special, Shanghai car can be called a Sino-foreign joint venture, BAIC Automobile can be called a Sino-foreign joint venture, and any other brand can be called "China X joint venture", but Hongqi is not good.

So......

Peeked at Chen Geng, Geng Shaojie, who was very pessimistic about this cooperation in his heart, couldn't help but think: For this cooperation, Chen Geng actually didn't directly refuse just to take care of FAW's face, right?

In fact, Chen Geng at this moment was also thinking about this matter in his heart.

FAW's conditions are of course harsh, but on the question of whether to cooperate with FAW, apart from "yes!" Chen Geng will not have a second answer.

Why, you ask?

Of course, it is because of FAW's special status as the "eldest son of the republic".

What do you mean by the "firstborn of the republic"?

Politically, the five words "eldest son of the republic" mean that the huge FAW Group itself is a fountain of political resources that is constantly gushing out!

Wolfsburg Automobile has a unique position in the domestic automobile market, just because their products are good?

Are you kidding!

The quality is better than that of Wolfsburg, the reliability is higher than that of Wolfburg, and the car brands that are a few streets away from Wolfburg in terms of comfort dare not say that there are ten or eight, but there are still three or five, but why have they not been able to reach the height of Wolfburg in the Chinese market? Is it just because Wolfsburg came into China relatively early?

Although some words are not easy to say too clearly, Wolfsburg Automobile can still live and nourish in the case of repeated serious design flaws, national scolding, and even serious enough to be named by 315......

If you want to say that FAW, the partner of Wolfsburg Automobile, has made a lot of efforts behind it, it is estimated that normal people will not believe it, right?

From the perspective of consumers, consumers will of course greet the ancestors of this kind of bastard enterprise for 18 generations, but from the perspective of partners, FAW, which has no technology and no pursuit in the field of passenger cars, and relies on partners to provide products and technologies to survive.

For such a partner, Chen Geng would refuse if he was stupid.

As for the harsh conditions of cooperation with Hongqi cars proposed by FAW, this is actually not a problem, it is a loss here, and it is enough to make up for it in other places.
